Texas Stars News Release


Cedar Park, TX - The American Hockey League announced Monday that Texas Stars right wing Mathieu Beaudoin has been named the Reebok/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Dec. 6, 2009. Beaudoin scored five goals in three games to help the Stars stay atop the West Division standings.

With three road games against three divisional opponents in three cities on tap for the weekend, Beaudoin sparked the Stars with his second career AHL hat trick on Friday night, paving the way for a 5-1 win at Milwaukee. On Saturday, Beaudoin's goal began a Texas comeback from 2-0 down and the Stars rallied past Chicago, 5-3. And on Sunday, Beaudoin scored the equalizer in the second period of what would be a 4-1 victory at San Antonio.

In recognition of his achievement, Beaudoin will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Stars home game.

The third-year pro out of Ohio State University has tallied 17 goals and 18 assists for 35 points in 82 career regular-season AHL games.
